A method shall be provided that permits users to skip repetitive navigation links.
Why this is important: Pages that contain repetitive links or multiple groups of repetitive links, which a user might want to "skip" in whole or only in part, should contain a method for users to jump over such links to get straight to the content of the page. Though it has been the practice in the past to provide what is commonly referred to as a “skip navigation” link, assistive technologies now support navigation by headings and lists. These constructs can be used instead of, or in addition to “skip navigation” to organize links beneficially for all users. New site construction should include headings, and provide an additional method for skipping navigation if appropriate. Access keys that may override screen reader settings should be avoided.
